  1. I just wipe with a rag dipped in white vinegar and allow to air dry.


  2. I googled "clean your yoga mat" and found this great advice at yogajournal.com:

    How to Wash Your Yoga Mat

    If you've lost the manufacturer's directions or aren't sure who made your yoga mat, here's a primer from Sara Chambers, founder of Hugger-Mugger yoga products.

    By Donna Raskin

    If your mat is lightly soiled, use a spray bottle, damp sponge, or terry cloth rag to apply a solution of two cups of water and four drops of dish soap. Rub the soiled areas. Wipe the mat with clean water; then rub with a dry terry cloth towel. Hang to air dry.

    If your mat is heavily soiled, submerge it in a solution of warm water and mild detergent; use very little soap as any residue may cause the mat to become slippery during future use. Thoroughly hand wash the mat and rinse in clean water. After squeezing out the excess water, lay the mat on a dry towel and roll the mat and towel together. Stepping on the rolled up mat will squeeze more moisture out of the mat and into the towel. Then unroll and hang to air dry.

  3. disinfectant wipes.

  4. I take mine outside, spray it with Fantastic or 409 and hose it off and let air dry.
